She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
John Ford's new and finest picture of the fighting cavalry!
Directed by John Ford
Produced by Argosy Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures
A classical Western cavalry drama centered on duty, aging, and honor, set against Monument Valley's majestic landscape, where a retiring officer's final mission tests both his competence and his heart.
On the eve of retirement, Captain Nathan Brittles takes out a last patrol to stop an impending massive Indian attack. Encumbered by women who must be evacuated, Brittles finds his mission imperiled.
